Feeling Overwhelmed by Guilt After Hurting Others? Here's Some Islamic Perspective
Salam, everyone. I've been wrestling with intense guilt over some past mistakes where I hurt and betrayed people without them knowing. For a while, I felt so consumed by it that I believed I deserved nothing good. Alhamdulillah, that heavy feeling faded for some time, and I carried on with life, but lately it's returned, leaving me feeling really depressed. I've sought forgiveness from Allah (SWT) through sincere repentance, but sometimes I still feel like it's not enough. How do you cope with these recurring feelings of guilt? Any advice from an Islamic viewpoint would be appreciated. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
